Tufts is the only other school that comes to mind immediately, but a few have been discussed in other forums on CC. You might want to start a thread on “schools that practice yield management” and let the CC parents come to you.
I think the Northeastern example you provide is more a case of a school becoming more selective as it rises in rankings. Another school that has become more selective as its academic reputation improved is Notre Dame.
Schools can determine how interested an applicant is by what they do - campus visits, department/major information sessions, alumni interviews, etc. - and what they write in their applications. Some schools have supplemental essays along the lines of “Why ABC University” where students can write love letters to the school, or spend 10 minutes on a form essay that shows no evidence of research or desire.
I think, as a general rule, that larger public universities are less likely to practice yield management and pay attention to demonstrated interest than smaller private schools. It is a numbers game for them and they get so many applications it is hard to give each that personal attention. (CC members who work in admissions, please chime in here.)
